I got to wondering the other day about something. It seems like most team have your standards duties for team members: drive team, animations, etc...my job on my team can be simply put as whatever no one else wants to do. Mainly, I do my team's newsletter. Do other teams even have newsletter and, if so, who writes and creates them? I just wonder if maybe I'm the only student with this job. If any other student does work on their team's newletter, let me know. I often have no clue as to what to include in it. Thanks!

Our team does not have a newsletter. We do, however, have individuals with unusual team tasks. For example, as far as I know, I'm the only guy in the entire FIRST program whose job it is to show up at every meeting and stand around cracking wise until one or more of my team mates feels compelled to injure me with any of various shop tools.

Re: Am I the only person with this job?
Chief Delphi does an entire newspaper every year. It is usually 5 to 6 pages long, and contains articles from our students about what thier role to the team is or what thier sub team is responsible for during the build season. Our engineers and Coaches also write selections for the paper. Articles also come from the F.I.R.S.T. VIP's Dave, Woodie, and Dean. This is completely a student made and written newspaper. It is also a sub team called Communications/Publications and that is thier main project to tackle during the season. This would be a good thing for any team to start, I think that it would be interesting to hear about what other teams are doing during the year.

Everyone has a good job on the team.
Like Karl said, our team doesn't have a newsletter. It really depends on how large your team is to have a newsletter. Most of our people show up consistently and we know whats going on. If not, we just fill them in when they come back. If they are gone for a long time, thats just tough for them, they catch up on their own. Karl, you make funny wisecrack jokes that bring humor into the program. If it weren't for that, we probably would have had horrible moods all the time. Everyone who shows up has a part in all teams. There is a lot to do. Just one's presence can make a difference. If you don't, find something to do, that goes for every team. Please don't be on the team just for the trip. That was one of the reasons I joined, then I got hooked to it and love FIRST, thank God I have two more years of it. Thats why I stay on ChiefDelphi all the time, I have no life. Is anyone else that way?

Odd Job
Our team has an email newsletter, it's written by one of our advisors. It comes out basically every week summarizing what is going on. We have emergency editions such as-
"ALL HEAR THIS: at 2AM the robot was handed to the drivers for testing...that is all" Another weird job on our team is that of the HSG. Head-Senior-Guy... this is just an honorific (unofficial) title given to a High School Senior on the team... Usually someone who just eats/sleeps/breathes FIRST... You get the weirdest look when you put that on a resume... ~John V #250 |

Our newsletter isn't really for our members..more for PR purposes in the community. I guess it is needed to show our sponsors that we really are up to something all of those weeks spent in a building of power tools, computers, and crazy engineers and students. Any announcements for team members are done via email and those who don't have email just kinda find out from their friends at their school (our team has students from both of our high schools in Martin County).

My morning goes like this: check my email, check Chief Delphi, check the hits on our team's website, then look for updates on the FIRST site. I have a bock of student assistant with our main teacher sponsor and all we talk about is cows and robotics. My friends outside of robotics get angry cause all I do talk about robotics. I think that the true FIRST-a-holics, like me, have NO LIFE!! And I'm proud of it. |

).We don't really have a newsletter, because (at least on my rookie team) there's only 10 of us. We do have some other interesting jobs though.. >>Power Cord Hoarder - Makes sure that the power cords for the computer speakersare well hidden because otherwise our productivity drops about 300% because all they do is argue about what kind of music to listen too) >>Ant Killer - Self Explanitory (there's a nest of them in the wall and the school doesn't seem to mind, but I find it annoying) And on 226 --- >>Filing - I was always in charge of filing (like getting rid of sharp corners filing, not paper filing). I cam out of every other meeting looking like I had been painted with three coats of silver spray paint A newsletter would be a really good idea for 226. It would give another of those 60+ students on the team something interesting to do. Allison Last edited by Allison K : 30-04-2004 at 22:06. |

No one on my team has your job at the moment. However, now that you mentioned the idea of the newsletter SOMEONE will next year.
Any volunteers? Actually, I'm thinking that could be a good job for the high school student leader of the team (who we need to pick at some point in the near future...). Thanks for the idea Angela.Matt who's team is going to hate him after he comes up with all these new ideas for stuff to do.... |
